'A fresh look at the beautiful game' - NME
**
Welcome back to the inimitable work of illustrator David Squires.**
Most football fans can only dream of pulling on the shirt of their
favourite team and running out in front of thousands of adoring fans.
Pitch invaders aside, few of us get to experience that adrenalin rush.
Of those who do make it as a professional footballer, even fewer realise
the giddy heights of success.
In the Illustrated History of Football: Hall of Fame, cartoonist David
Squires returns to celebrate those who straddle the game like giants;
those talented, determined souls who were juggling tennis balls in the
back streets before they could talk.
There's more than one way to attain football immortality though, and
Squires also turns his comic eye to the mavericks, the pioneers, the
forgotten legends and the anti-heroes. From Pele to Meazza, Maradona to
Socrates, you will be taken on an unforgettable journey through the
good, the bad and the Hagi.
